Schools Are Teaching Guitar .. . the Beloved, |
Non-Amplified Acoustical M usical Instrument

sound’? in music, the tender, in-
dividual sound produced by today’s
young musicians,

The guitar is probably the most:
personal instrument of all..It can
be played alone for creative enjoy-
ment; It.can accompany other
instruments or singers, and it per-
forms all kinds of music, from:
ballads to jazz.

Classroom guitar, now formally
offered for the first time in public

When your child comes home
from his first day at school this
fall, don't be surprised to find
‘guitar’? among his classroom
subjects. It’s the newest trend in
school music education.

But this doesn’t mean your house
is going to rock with the loud hys-
terical wailing you may associate
with the electric guitar. Instead,
your child will be learning beauti-
ful music on the non-amplified,

acoustical guitar you knew and
loved years ago.

’ Edueators, who have always
agreed that music is as important
ta a complete education as math,
languages and science, are dis-
covering that the guitar has a
unique potential for bringing more
music ta more students, inex-
pensively.

‘The instrument is eagerly ac-

and parochial schools, is the result
of long research by the company
that pioneered the school band
movement in the 20's. ;

C. G. Conn, Ltd., Oak Brook,
Illinois, a musica! instrument
manufacturer for 100 years, has

developed a ‘multi-level’ class-
room guitar program that com-
bines good guitars with a program
that any instructor: can teach.,'

week course that cavers not only

basic playing techniques, but all —

aspects of music such as harmony,
tempo, rhythm — even how to
listen to music with more appre-
ciation, —

Furthermore, the course recog-
nizes that young people want to
play their own music, so the les-
sons are based on contemporary
music, from the Beatles to Bacha-
rach, Even a rank beginner can
play a song after his very first
lesson!

Jerry Ackley, who developed the

program for Conn, reports that —

schools offering the course have
been overwhelmed by applicants.
Students from elementary to high-
school age‘are eager to join. .

Another factor which makes
classroom guitar successful is that
the guitar costs much less than.
most musical instruments, For
about $60 you can furnish your
child with a well-made guitar that
is easy to play and produces atrue
tone.

So if your child, for one reason
or another, has missed the music
opportunities that most schools.
offer in band and orchestra, let

him learn about music while —

strumming a guitar.

And once you've heard him play-
ing and singing, you'll probably
want to try i it yourself;
